Circadian Rhythm Sleep-Wake Disorder Treatments
We offer a variety of treatments for circadian rhythm sleep-wake disorders. Your physician may recommend:
- Lifestyle changes: This may include changing your exposure to daylight, changing your daily routine and strategically scheduling naps.
- Sleep hygiene: We can help you develop healthy sleep habits and teach you how to avoid certain behaviors that affect sleep cycles, such as naps, caffeine and other stimulants.
- Light therapy: Used to hurry or delay sleep, light therapy (bright or dark) can help shift your circadian rhythm.
- Medications: Melatonin plays a key role in your sleep-wake cycle. By taking it at precise times, it may relieve some symptoms.
